Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp heaps praise on his side for their performance in the final half-hour of their 5-0 Boxing Day win over Swansea City.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on his side following their "fantastic" performance during the 5-0 win over Swansea City this afternoon.

A brace from Roberto Firmino alongside goals from Philippe Coutinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain saw Liverpool run out convincing winners on Boxing Day, climbing back into the top four of the table as a result.

Klopp acknowledged that his side could have performed better in the first half, but was effusive in his praise for the final half-hour when Liverpool scored the majority of their goals.

"After 55 minutes it was brilliant, before that it was work. It was not easy. The last half an hour was fantastic, a joy to watch, a very deserved win," he told BBC Sport.

"I know that people are often not patient enough as it's all about results. It's possible from outside to think it's not quick enough, we feel really good in this moment. Five minutes in the Arsenal game was not good but the performance was good. We drew. For tonight, we feel really good."

Liverpool's final match of 2017 will come on Saturday when they host Leicester City at Anfield.
